bannedfromHandV Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 It’s the way of the world now isn’t it. Terms like ‘doubling down’, ‘alternative truths’, ‘fake news’....it’s all just superficial perception now, if you say something enough and ‘own it’ enough idiots will follow and then spread their idiocy to others. No accountability, no admission, no responsibility, just total and utter meaningless crap, rinse and repeat. I’m off to look at birds with big boobs on Instagram. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Ken McNaughts Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I was a bit late hearing about this whole twist in the tale, but I can’t remember enjoying 3-4 pages of VillaTalk much more than the ones that have covered it here. Cheers, all! Made me alternately laugh and shout “Exactly!’ for about 20 minutes. The intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the Premier League and all its media lapdogs laid bare for the whole world to see. Good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I saw this little article pop up on my Newnow feed. It made for some entertaining historical reading about changes to the rules over the years. Stoke aren't bitter And indeed, the penalty was a new rule by October 24 that year when Stoke had been re-elected into the League and welcomed Villa back to the Vic. Villa raced into a 3-0 lead but produced a brilliant second-half comeback with goals from Hughie Clifford and Joe Schofield, the England international and Hanley headteacher. There were just seconds remaining as Stoke cranked up their search for a third when, in a case of déjà vu, a goal-bound shot was handled away. This time, a penalty was awarded… but the story goes that a Villa player simply picked up the ball and booted it out of the ground towards Stoke town. The referee kept looking at his watch and blew up before it could be returned, telling players “there was not time for it to be taken.” Cheats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips'ngravy Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I wouldn't fancy a replay just in case we got a proper spanking....but... there's definitely a case for the last 12mins to be replayed. Would be great viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) So rather than saying they got it wrong they’re making it out like they’ve now changed the rules again It’s always been the same, if play is being interfered with the it’s offside. Mings was tackled before he could take control of the ball and therefore it was an offside offence from Rodri. And now they’re saying “that’s how it will be from now on”, as if it wasn’t the case already. These small things are what put me off this disgustingly corrupt sport. A team (Man City) has benefited from the previous “rule” so they say, but half way through a season they now change the rules? Might as well start kicking the ball out of the stadium and claiming 6 points seeming as you can just change the rules whenever you want to Edited January 27, 2021 by samjp26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
